University of Illinois Admissions Scandal

One person's preferences are another's discrimination.

I haven't read up on all the details but here is a good point: "Has any intrepid investigative reporter compared the qualifications of those admitted under the scandalous political preference program with the qualifications of those admitted under the unscandalous racial preference program? Has anyone in Illinois demanded (now this would be a scandal!) that all applicants to the University be treated, you know, equally, and judged by the same standards?"
